sorry, gfx comes second to playability...

[ac351959]

Too often in recent times has a civ addon been nothing more than a gfx boost, unit animations etc. worse they have mucked around with the game - in civ ctp they completely messed the wonders up! in test of time they made the whole thing look 'grim' and went in for the whole naf futuristic thing.

I am sure the best fun from civ in the next few years will come from reworking of the game engine (eg. diplomacy structure), NOT new and fancy graphics. civ has to 'flow' - be playable at speed. this comes way above looking good.

I agree that gameplay comes first. I still think the graphics for Civ2 are good enough, but an improvement is great. The option to turn the graphics to a static state would be a really good one for ppl with slower procs.

Technically CTP1 was a Civilization game. CTP2, or as is known by some ppl as CTP@, is a non-Civ game <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>

Yeah, stupid activision. Why can't they make their own game instead of using the nam "Civilization" to attract attention.

I still think CTP both 1 and 2, are some of the biggest rip-off's in moderne time. Probably why the game is so lousy...

"ok... We wanna make money who has an idea???" "how 'bout civilization. just give the gfxs and units an overhall and it'll sell"

As long as the graphics are happy looking/upbeat, and not grim like some in AC.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

The graphics in AC look grim??

I though CTP was good at times, the dipomatic structure was a total rip-off though, they promised new features, but really only gave us new pharses to get the enemy, and no real new features, Plus for the tax rate they just made it more realistic.(i.e. the gold would say 15000, instend of 1500.) What kind of up grad is that. But I did enjoy the bombardment features and the unit stacks. Atleast they gave me something to sink my teath into, although nothing worth 50 bucks.

Now that you mentioned it, the bombard feature was good.

CTP had some good points and some bad
the bombardment feature i belive is a must for CIV III
